UWG Wolves hang on to win No. 1 over Miles

Carrollton, GA - The first win can be the hardest, and the University of West Georgia football team took care of win No. 1 on the 2011 campaign with a 23-20 triumph over Miles College on Thursday evening at University Stadium.

The Wolves (1-1) held on against a late surge from the Golden Bears (1-2) for what UWG coach Daryl Dickey hopes is the first win of many this fall.

“It will be a lot easier to go to work and coach with a win under your belt. There’s no question about that. We’ve got to develop a habit of winning, and you can’t do that unless you start winning. I’m proud of our kids [Thursday]. They fought hard and found a way to stretch it out at the end with enough cushion that we were going to win the ball game,” Dickey said.

The first win was especially sweet for junior quarterback Emmanuel Taylor, who was playing his first game at University Stadium.
